an older woman temps here as well. she was gone for a while, but returned this week.
back in may, when she was here, she always happened to eat lunch in the break room the same time i did and it used to drive me absolutely mental. first of all, i hate office chitchat, and with her, it was an entire thirty minutes of office chitchat. for example:
'you have lunch too?'
'yeah. just a sandwich.'
'i have chinese. do you like chinese?'
'sometimes.'
'i do. too much sauce, though.'
'mm.'
'i have a menu in my purse if you want to look into it.'
'thanks.'
...
'how long is your assignment here?'
'i think just until the end of the month.'
'that's good. long assignments provide some relief.'
-it was that exciting. and it went on for thirty minutes. for about two weeks. pain.
well, she's back.
and now i fear my private, quiet lunches are no more.
